I bought HP Pavilion laptop which has vista builtin. But I need office software. I use free Office for writing letters, drawing some flowcharts, spreadsheet for some calculations. http://www.openoffice.org/. :)
There are a few releases for Myanmar version too. http://my.openoffice.org/

For the other things such as Thesis writing, Paper preparation, and Presentation, I prepare in LaTex.

there are 23 translation bots inside Gtalk. You can know translation of one language to another. It is said that accuracy rate is 20%. The process is simple. You can read here too.

Here is two example bots, en2ja@bot.talk.google.com, en2ru@bot.talk.google.com. At the left bottom of Gtalk , there is ADD button. (1) Click ADD button and (2) paste `en2ru@bot.talk.google.com`(3) then click “send invite”. It is easy. Just like you invite a friend, you invite these bots. After that, it will appear in your friend list. Click `en2ru@bot.talk.google.com` , type in english within a second, it will show you translation of what you type.

I have heard about these. But I never thought that much easy. It is my old student introduced me. :) . I pass to this information to My brother. He was enjoying testing both Chinese and English. He did translation for Chinese movies for Myanmar subtitles. His rate for Chinese bot is more than 20%.

Do you know why I use ru2en? :P Just a fun . I want to reveal the truth. My old student said that I am lucky. He used me to guess the outcome of soccer match, Toto :) . I give 3 times and the first time, 6 , the last 2 times are both 8 correct. :P I am not encouraging my student in gambling. But I knew him well that he will do moderate. He has submitted his thesis and waiting for his viva. He has a lot of free times and he should have some fun, right?
